The last time I used Google Now was too scared to use it ever again. I don't want to report my location, see cool pictures of my surroundings, or know about the events of my city. It's not just only about the surveillance, it&#x27

Then, in Bootstrap terms and since the grid syntax is offered in mixins, should it be used as follows .foo-class { &:extend(.col-md-4, .col-md-offset-8) } instead of using the mixin? .foo-class { make-

I do not really get your point, care to elaborate? Unless you mean that 'div' is subject to change over time…

You will start caring the day you want to update to Bootstrap 9000 and need to change the class names of all the properties that have changed. A counterargument could be that one could stick with the version already deployed, and that'

Be very wary, though, if you are using mixins to define these columns in a case-by-case basis, as this could lead to huge generated CSS (the properties of the column will be defined in each class the mixin has been used).

I do not think our views on the issue contradict at all. Maths may not relate on how you structure code, but (as I see it) an early start with a little dose of maths on understanding algorithms, may make your brain understand the elementary

Maybe I am wrong, and I am confusing programming with programming for maths. Now again, on the low level, it's really easy to find maths everywhere, while on the high level, one just interacts with development libraries. As a note, mat

I think the article stretches too far away the "think like a programmer" motto by including design patterns and TDD in there. You will have trouble learning if you do not think like a programmer, as in basic CS 101. Thinking like

It was a gift for participating in a local Google event, sorry if it wasn't clear enough. By not 'buying it' I wanted to highlight that my opinion on the comment would be inherently negative, as I am not in the target audienc

I am sorry, but for me that book was a no. It just felt like a self help book, but for programmers, which is kind of ok if you are feeling any sort of personal trouble in the field. Not that this is not already told on the back cover, but n

It's incredible the amount of data Google collected just on the period of 24h I activated Google Now for testing. Cool technology, scary preconditions.

Then again, RSS is how "tech savvy" (incl developers) would use twitter. Sorry I digress, maybe I do take RSS too seriously. But for me it is really important to draw a distinction in how a service is consumed. Using a website o

No developer mentioned about promptly cutting down features on the same API that made people adopt twitter as a medium? Bullshit. I do not get why I shouldn't be able to consume their information using the universal RSS. Guess that thi

About the counterargument, yes, it does raise a good point (in fact, one that I skimmed through). Specially about changes and breaking. For instance, in the following document, what is to change in the href attribute? GET /fooes

My favorite setup (for the ones that move regularly) is a pair of trestles and a wood table from the nearest Brico Depot. Not as sturdy as the OP, but enough for at least a year. The total cost should go around 30USD + one hour to sand both
